Keagan is one Kool Kitty! All he needs is a pair of sunglasses.

I went back to the fence and finished with the T-posts. Trip went with me and "helped" before running off in the woods. Silly sheep would only go as far as the gully before running back to the gate. They are still out there, I'll put them up for the night about 8. I am plumb tuckered out again. I took my shower and DH is frying some ham for us.

Yes! Keagan really is a cool kitty! Although, I suspect he would draw the line at sunglasses.

Those silly sheep need to learn that they were BRED to go out into the "wilderness" to graze. Once they do, you won't be able to get them to come home at night.

We just put them in their night pen. I shrieked SHEEP!!! And 13 little heads immediately popped up at the gate and lots of BAA BAA BAA BAA BAA's filled the air. I had already put feed out for them, so I shook the coffee can, the BAA's intensified, DH opened the gate, I shrieked SHEEP!! SHEEP!! and the Kentucky Derby of sheep was off and running! LOL I'll put them back over there tomorrow.

This evening, when we fed the animals, I took my phone with me, so I could take pictures of the Black Eyed Susan's.

I really like using the riding mower. Its kinda a challenge, as each time I do it, I try to go a little bit further into the woods. This time I cleared a 10' square patch, that I have been working on since last Spring.

Right now, we have some patches of Black Eyed Susan's out there, so we mowed around those. It looks kinda pretty!

Here, in the middle of the screen, is the patch of brush, that I cleared. Before I started working to clear it, last Spring, it was solid and about 7 feet high.

I had just put the dog's food bowls down. Their table manors were so nice, I had to get a shot of it! Actually, they always eat well together.

As I was heading for the house, I saw Leon taking a sip. He looked so nice I just had to get a shot! Isn't he a pretty boy?

Sounds like you don't need to shriek anymore @Baymule, they seem to be anticipating your arrival.

Sheep have the sight of an eagle, sonic hearing of a bat, the vocal cords of a roaring lion and the appetite of an elephant. They see me crack open the door, hear me breathing, and start yelling their heads off expecting me to rush to them with unlimited buckets of feed. Gotta admire their optimism-they never give up hoping for those unlimited buckets of feed.

I love the black eyed susans too! A lot of them came up in the garden and I not only kept them, but transplanted some too! We are having a good year for wildflowers on the road sides. That patch you mowed might not be big, but it is CLEAR now and that makes it HUGE.

Our wethers are the same! All we have to do is quietly crack either the front or back doors, and they sound off, loud and clear. "FEED ME, FEED ME!!!!"

That patch you mowed might not be big, but it is CLEAR now and that makes it HUGE.

Absolutely! I considered that small patch (in the greater scheme, of things), to be HUGE! Rome wasn't built in a day. Each small patch, that I clear will eventually progress into a massive cleared area!

Sounds like my chickens.

Who wants a kitten?
One solid black, one black and white, one tabby, one calico.
(actually we'll find homes for them locally and momma's getting a trip to the vet to make sure it doesn't happen again)
She gave birth to them up in the bowels of a log skidder, then moved them under a brush hog mower for a few days until it rained hard so she finally brought them up to the front porch.
